Healthy Coffee Smoothie For Weight Loss
I managed to get through college, grad school, and mothering three young children without coffee. I really didn’t like the taste – not in a cup, a cappuccino or even a cup of coffee ice cream. But in the past year I have seduced myself into the worship of coffee.
Wake Me Up Coffee Smoothie With Oats And Banana
At first I drank it in small mugs poured by my husband. Eventually, I started cooking on my own. The next natural step was to combine my newfound appreciation for coffee with my long-standing love of smoothies.
In short, this creamy concoction has the same texture as a frosted mocha shake, just a little on the lighter side because there’s no ice cream involved. It is sweet enough, and thanks to the addition of cocoa powder, it gives a mild coffee flavor with a hint of chocolate.
Coffee: You start with a cup of strong, cold coffee. You can brew and chill it yourself or get a bottle of cold beer from the market.
Milk: If you use cow’s milk, I recommend at least 1% milk fat. If choosing plant-based milk, look for sweetened varieties with a little body, such as oat milk or coconut milk.
Healthy And Delicious Weight Loss Smoothies
Cocoa Powder: You can’t call it mocha without a hint of chocolate. For this recipe comes cocoa powder, which makes the smoothie taste delicious and provides healthy plant flavonoids. If you want to use cocoa powder, the raw version of cocoa powder, go for it. It has a slightly bitter taste, but is rich in antioxidants.
Smoothie Addition: A ripe frozen banana adds sweetness and tanginess to your smoothie. Finally, a spoonful of chia seeds and almond butter boost the protein and healthy fats that give the smoothie staying power (translation: you won’t be hungry 10 minutes after slurping it up).
The recipe below is for beginners only. There are many things you can do to change your mood. Here are some ideas for changing the flavor profile or enhancing the nutrition:
My previous aversion to coffee had more to do with the taste than any notion that caffeine wasn’t good for me.
Breakfast Coffee Banana Smoothie
In fact, over time I realized that coffee has potential benefits. When consumed in reasonable amounts, caffeine is associated with increased mental alertness, concentration, and improved athletic performance. The key is not to overdo it.
Too much coffee can make you jittery, not to mention bedtime, if you drink it too late in the day. The 2/3 cup portion in this recipe shouldn’t be a problem for most people, and if it is, there’s no reason you can’t make your smoothie with decaf.
If desired, you can add 1 scoop of sweet protein powder/collagen peptides or 3 scoops of dry milk powder for added protein.

I think most people fall into one of two categories: either you’re a morning person… or you’re not.
But no matter what side of the wall you find yourself on, it’s always good (and to admit) just to start a new day.
Healthy Protein Coffee Smoothie
As for me, it just so happens that I’m a morning person – jump out of bed and get ready at a moment’s notice, the morning type motivated to conquer the world – and when I started working from home, I thought that means I’m ordained. To be the boss? Do you start work every day? That should be a breeze for someone who never needs to hit the snooze button, right?
It took me a while before I admitted that even I, she, who is so gorgeous in the morning that some days even hurts herself, might actually need something.
In the early hours of the day. Because most mornings I motivate myself to watch Netflix or play with the dogs for a few hours or read a book. All incredibly fun and satisfying things to do, sure, but if I got my work done early enough, then I’d be spending the afternoon doing stuff like that. It was what I really needed for my first few hours
So I decided to add a new tool to my morning routine that gives me something to look forward to. And most importantly, it had to be something that I wasn’t allowed to do until I was sitting in front of the computer, hands on the keys, ready to conquer the world.
Keto Coffee Smoothie (frappuccino)
When I had a “standard” office job, I wasn’t a coffee drinker. I could pour a cup of coffee if everyone else was having coffee, but otherwise, I could take it or (likely) leave it.
However, because of this, it seemed perfectly suited to my morning routine: to me, it was bright, shiny and new.
What I love most about this recipe is that it is easy to make coffee. And with banana and yogurt (or ice
